Calibration
Calibration is the process of applying a known quantity of gas to the transmitter so that the transmitter can adjust the precision and accuracy of the measurements made in normal operating mode. This process ensures that gas measurements are as accurate as possible.
Calibration Warnings - Read before Calibrating
WARNING!
| • | Use zero gas when zeroing the TG5000 transmitter if there is any possibility of background gas. Otherwise, improper calibration could occur. |
| • | For optimal sensor performance, allow sensor to acclimate to application conditions for 24 hours before performing an initial calibration. |
| • | Perform calibrations 24 hours after initial startup and at a frequency identified in Calibration Frequency and Calibration Frequency for XCell Sensors with TruCal and Diffusion Supervision (H2S & CO only). |
| • | Although TG5000 sensors are factory calibrated, the unit must be calibrated once it is installed in its final environmental destination. |
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
